I had the opportunity to ride in one recently and to be 100% honest - the exterior really looks hideous. The good news is that the interior is extremely nice - gorgeous leather and wood everywhere, with the typical BMW ergonomics.

It does drive really nice, too - really tight handling (very similar, but not as sharp as, my 3-series) and mountains of torque...it just pulls and pulls and pulls...
